Verified facts vs AI inference

Verified fact: AFR report (30 Jul / 3 Aug 2026) on FY26 results shows the group actively adding venues - 243 to 255 pubs in the past year - with earnings up 27% to $472M and revenue of $1.63B
AI inference: A 255-venue hospitality group adding roughly 12 venues a year buys bulk paper products, bin liners, washroom and cleaning consumables across every site; each new or renovated venue is a supply reset moment
